This home in Newington, VA was having issues with humidity, water damage, and comfort due to their dirt crawl space. We gave their crawl space the full CleanSpace treatment and the results are a new, beautiful space!
This Falls Church VA crawl space was in a bad way. The duct work running through it was compromised, falling down and leading to poor performance for the heating and cooling of the home and rooms above. The existing insulation was not doing its job, leading to cold floors above. There was excessive uncontrolled moisture in the crawl space due to open air vents which was creating poor air quality for the homeowners. We fixed it! Our production team helped correct the duct system issues, insulated the walls of the crawl space including sealing up the air vents to eliminate dust and outside allergens from entering. Spray foam insulation was used to seal several areas. Finally they covered the floors and foundation support with Clean Space. This is a now a controlled environment delivering better home performance to the owners. Eliminating the moisture and humidity now makes this space useful for storage if needed.
Homeowners in Arlington, VA had a crawlspace that had old, moldy, non-effective insulation in it. The team at 3 Pros Basement Systems transformed the crawlspace using our CleanSpace encapsulation system. This system keeps the crawlspace healthy, warm, dry, and critter free.
This Alexandria VA crawl space had been partially conditioned with material installed to cover the dirt flooring and walls, but the insulation for the space was not done correctly. The walls and rim joists in the crawl space were left uninsulated while traditional bat insulation was used to "TRY" and insulate the floors above the crawl space. The bat insulation allowed for cold and or hot, unconditioned air from the crawl space to impact the floors above. The outside temperatures and moisture were able to freely impact the crawl space due to open air vents and no insulation for the walls. We removed the bat insulation and some of the wall coverings and proceeded to use spray foam to seal the air vents, rim joists and to insulate the walls. No more free moving outside air causing humidity and we conditions in the crawl space.
This work in progress has already shown a massive visual change. The owner of this Alexandria Virginia home had called us to help with cold floors and a musty smell coming from their crawl space. Upon inspection, our Certified Home Performance Sales Pro Jason found the insulation inside to be falling and old. There was excessive moisture in the space due to the extra water that wasnt making its way to the sump pump. Our team was able to remove all of the old insulation and will be lining the ground with Clean Space after they finish using Silver Glo insulation panels to cover the walls and insulate from the outside in, rather than just below the floors above.
